Funnily enough, Mars' Purugly's difficulty even more artificial than just Purugly's base stats. Her level 16/17 purugly is illegal, as Glameow doesn't evolve until level 38. Jupiter's Skuntank also has a less pronounced version of this where her Skuntank illegally knows Night Slash at level 20 before it could possibly learn the move. Truly, the most heinous acts of Team Galactic.

We were all surprised by its speed, but I'm more surprised by the other stats. You'd expect it to be a bit stronger, since its apparently part tiger, or bulkier since, well, its fat. I guess fighting against it before level 20 makes a big difference in perspective.

Maybe the fat doesn’t help it defensively because it’s just a flabby kind of fat, not a hardened belly type fat like Snorlax or Slaking And makes sense because this Pokémon is all about making you think it’s something it’s not, it grips it’s own torso with its forked tail to push the fat to the sides like a corset to make itself seem strong and bulky, and it’s speed stat can take some people by surprise because they don’t expect this chunky cat to be quick on its feet xd

I've always seen Speed in Pokémon to be Speed in Battle, not overall speed. That's why even tho Latias and Latios are faster than Purugly, they are not in game. Think about it, the battles take places in small stadiums, so a tiny cat has much more ways to move around it than a biological plane, since they would need a lot of space to reach their maximum speed. Same way a squirrel would be much faster than an f1 car if they were to race in a narrow and short location

Hot take: Glameow definitely should be earlier in Sinnoh then it is, since you can't get it until after the fifth gym when its counterpart, Stunky, can be found right after the second. Additionally, Glameow should evolve at like Level 28 over 38. Also, I think the reason why Purugly's stats aren't good is so that the first fight against Mars isn't too hard, because people says it's already decently challenging.

Purugly is the perfect case for a Pokémon made specifically for an ingame bossfight (Commander Mars in DPP). It's stupidly fast to not be outsped, its defenses are good for the level (16 IIRC) and 84 base attack is (again, at Lv16) super good. I love this kind of Pokémon (Torkoal and Slaking are some that come to my mind), and I'm ok if they're not competitively viable. It will always be remembered for being a Nuzlocke run killer.

A good buff would be to give it Fluffy as a fourth Ability, Belly Drum, Thrash, Stomping Tantrum and Extreme Speed. All of these fit its design, pokedex entry, and unusual speed. It would definitely be good with these buffs. Plus Fluffy is slang for Fat in some countries, so it fits.

It's so weird. It's a fully evolved pokemon that evolves at level 38, but because it's the ace pokemon of a boss character you fight near the beginning of the game, they had to basically neuter it's stats so Mars wouldn't be an overpowered fight. It's fat, so you'd assume it's bulk to at least be decent, it's partly based on a Tiger, and it's Pokedex entry highlights it's aggressive nature, meaning you'd expect it to hit harder. It was given a higher attack to presumably give it a reason to justify using it over Persian who has almost everything else Purugly has but better, but they gave the latter Technician anyway to make up for the difference.

With these out of radar Pokémon, I like to see surprise entries like sudden VGC appearance. I remember from some older videos that some Pokémon was covered a little bit in VGC/Doubles with speculations if enough data wasn't available. Not that I have any personal attachment in Purugly, I always saw it kind of random Persian/Delcatty clone and later Liepard done odd. It was just after all the downhill sliding, the surprise mention of 7th place would have been something interesting to listen, giving to Pokémon a high note in the end. I understand it's not possible to do with every Pokémon, especially one-hit wonders with failed gimmicky sets that hasn't been recorded.

I'd say a good buff would be to its defenses: Def to 84 and Spdef to 70 or 80. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't recall many fast tanks out there, and these buffs could make Purugly one. Obviously with 71 hp it still couldn't take too many hits but it would at least allow it some degree of tankiness while also being a decent attacker as well on the side.

Most people who think Purugly is bad just have missed the biggest thing it has, Hone Claws! Defiant is nice, but Purugly is one of a ridiculously tiny amount of Pokemon that have a way to raise their accuracy while having a sleep move like Hypnosis. If you can get a single Hone Claws off, Hypnosis is 80 accuracy, with two boosts, it's a guaranteed sleep coming off from a 112 speed stat and with the sleep, it can set up further since it gets free turns! With Sash you are pretty much guaranteed to get at least one HC off, but even without it, if you can somehow increase the odds of the first Hypnosis hitting (eg: Gravity), you can easily snowball fights!

Purugly honestly looks interesting due it being faster then the speed sound and it’s fat design.

Even if purugly clearly wasn't made to look appealing it's a really good pokemon character design-wise. I still find it weird that it's not part dark type and that alolan persian is while literally being the same pokemon but without the unique corset aspect.

Did you know that Glameow and Purugly are only in one regional dex, the one they debuted in of course being Sinnoh, and are postgame-only in a few other mainline titles? They're also a Pearl/Brilliant Pearl exclusive, you can't even get them in Platinum without trading, meaning that most people probably haven't used one on a team.

@@rowanjadon2664 I believe it was after this comment was written, but they did appear in Legends Arceus too. They should include it in more games though, I feel like barely anyone cares about Purugly compared to the other cat Pokemon. Sure Delcatty is even worse competitively, but at least for that, it's memorable.

Purugly seems kinda stuck between its inspiration of being a near persian clone and being "fixed" by having defiant slapped onto it with little extra care beyond that. Chonker deserved that nice 20-40 bst increase few lucky low to middling stat mons were blessed with since gen 6

Great analysis video! Thanks for uploading! I'd give Purugly +5 in ATK, & +10 in every Defense, just because it's fat; It should be "bulkier". Then again, Purugly seems UNDERweight. A typical housecat is at most, 25.4 cm & up to 5 KG, but Purugly is 100 cm & 43.8 kg. If you made a housecat Purugly's size, & applied square cube law, it'd weigh close to 240 kg! At least! Heck, lionesses are 90 to 110 cm, & 120 to 130 kg! Yet Purugly's barely over a third of that mass! For a Pokemon with "Thick Fat", Purugly seems to have all the biological bulk of a balloon, lol. (Also, I wish it was available in more regions.)
